Calling In Stupid of the Day: A staff member at the Manhattan High School of Hospitality Management managed to tack on an extra week to her school-sanctioned spring break by convincing her employer that her daughter had died.
Parent coordinator Joan Barnett fooled the school by having one of her daughters phone an official and claim her sister had died of a heart attack in Costa Rica, requiring Barnett to travel there for the funeral.
Barnett went the extra morbid mile and forwarded the school a forged death certificate — a document which is required prior to the approval of bereavement days.
According to an investigator, a school official raised a red flag after spotting discrepancies in the certificate’s font alignment. A phone call to the Costa Rican government confirmed the certificate was a fake.
However, faced with the fact, Barnett doubled down, insisting her daughter was dead, and providing a second forged certificate as proof.
Unwilling to go as far as actually killing her daughter for the sake of her case — rookie mistake — Barnett had no choice but to plead guilty to misdemeanor forgery and exit stage left.

The rest were simply repetitions
Of the more notorious. Slim editions:
Less practised; less hardened;
Less vicious; less strong:
Just a nice crowd trying to get along.

Twitter account of the day: quotes from Ron Paul’s racist-ass newsletters, published on RP_Newsletter.

The latest in the long line of “Damn I Wish I Had Thought of That” Twitter accounts.

While it’s difficult to argue that 140-character snippets are sufficiently in-context, these tweets are pretty eye-opening. It’s quotes like these, and Paul’s response to their surfacing, that led our blogger Andrew Sullivan to reconsider his endorsement of Paul

ron paul did get one thing right: i do enjoy attention and pity.

this was just a moment in the woods

me: the giant.......is AIDS.
IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW
WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE THIS BEFORE?
Shannon: you didn't THINK OF THAT????
me: I'M A STUPID POOPYFACE
Shannon: Promiscuity
GIANT SMOOSH
= AIDS
me: AIDS.
AIDS SHANNON
Shannon: It's profound.
me: was AIDS the subtext with which YOU played the giantess?
I NEVER NOTICED. IT WAS SO SUBTLE WHEN YOU DID IT.
with every tremble of your voice, i could feel the T cell-count of the baker's wife decrease.
Shannon: Yes, I was quietly sucking the T cells out of my victims with every line
